I once thought if you run far away enough from your problems, things will be better. So I did. I landed my dream job at the prestigious hotel known as Varick Manor.

Things weren’t exactly how I expected them to be. I mean, the Manor is amazing. But ever since I started, strange things have been going on. The guests behave oddly as if I scare them. My coworkers keep me at a distance. Even my boss, Kieran Varick, acts weird. He flops between doting to cold in the blink of an eye. Strangest yet, I think giant wolves are being cared for by someone at the Manor.

I don’t know what’s going on here, but as more strange things happen around me, the more I want to find out what’s going on. While logic tells me I should run away while I still can, my heart is pulling me closer to the Manor, as if this place were my destiny. One way or another, I’m going to find out the secrets of Varick Manor.

The Luna of Varick Manor

I felt like absolute trash after helping those guests. Sebastian seemed awesome, but Amanda seemed like she was looking for a fight. 


That might have flown in my younger years, but I had outgrown that life in middle school. 


At least, I realized that earlier on than some did. Some people never learned that lesson. The bulk of my friends from school were far from friendly, and eventually, I just stuck to Kat for the rest of my early education life. 


If it hadn’t been for Kat, I’d be a mess at this point in life. Even more so than having to start over when all the other people my age were seeing their hard work pay off. 


I didn’t want to have regrets about the past, but I couldn’t help but kick myself at all the wasted time I spent worrying about Scott and his dreams instead of pushing mine off to the side untouched for nearly a decade.
